Derrick and the entire team at West Shire Decks were incredible to work with from start to finish and beyond. The quality of craftsmanship is superior to that of our old deck, which had become very unsafe. We have received so many compliments on our new deck and we’ve spent so much quality time on it already. We highly recommend this company!

Having a deck built by Westshire was a great experience. From the planning to the building of it we never had a problem. The price was fair and what we expected to pay. The work crew was fast and efficient in building. Justin was easy to communicate with and kept us up to date with building plans, etc. Love how it turned out!

Ive worked for quite some time as the project manager. These guys are highly skilled at their craft. There processes throughout are matchless. The owner is one of the best guys ive worked with. They always go out of their way to make sure the builds are done properly and to code. Definitely the best in the industry in Central PA!

There are no words to describe how happy and satisfied I am with my new deck and the craftmanship and service provided by WSD. The WSD work crew and administrative staff were very professional and knew their stuff. Can't wait till spring to officially toast it's completion with a beer. Thank you Brian for your help and patience with my last minute changes.

We hired West Shire Decks to build a 12'x16' ground-level composite deck including demolition and disposal of an existing pergola. We are very pleased with the result and with our experience working with the company. The crew's craftsmanship and quality of work is outstanding. They went the extra mile to make sure the job was done right such as jack hammering out the old pergola's concrete footers so that new ones could be correctly installed according to code.The work started and ended on time. As with any project, there were a couple of minor communication issues which were resolved quickly and efficiently. The cost was in-line with other bids we received. There are a lot of fly-by-night operators in the deck business but it was nice to do business with true professionals.

Had a great experience with West Shire Decks. Best quote out of 5 companies to build a 2nd story Trex deck. Chad and team communicated throughout the process and built a beautiful deck in one day. All of the crew were very nice from Demo to construction - couldnt be happier with the team!

You can assure your deck will be done to the best standards out there, and you’ll enjoy the process if you choose West Shire Decks. Give them a call.

All staff were polite and very professional. The cost of the composite deck replacement was reasonable and West Shire carried out the project without any problems. I'd recommend them to anyone looking for a new deck or replacement of an existing deck.

We had West Shire demolish our old wood deck as well as an unusable room attached to our basement, exposing a cement pad that we will use as additional outdoor space. The process went smoothly from start to finish. Dave was our salesperson and he worked with us to get what we wanted while staying close to budget. He explained the products that would be used and took his time to help us finalize decisions. They were here when they said they would be here and worked full days to get the job done in a reasonable amount of time for such a large project. Communication by phone, email and in person was always welcomed and responded to within a short period of time. The crew members that worked on our home were friendly, respectful and professional, helping us to understand the process. Our project foreman, Brandon, was very helpful in explaining the next steps of the demolition and the build. The clean up process went smoothly and now we can't wait to enjoy our new West Shire deck! We would recommend them any time.

Chad and team arrived after an attempted DIY deck renovation project got a little over-my-head. Chad was able to make use of existing material while also improving on the original plan. The result was better than I could have anticipated. Chad's eye to detail and his team's professionalism left me with no doubt I made a wise decision. Great experience and highly recommended!
